142 BOARD OF TRUSTEES To Ralph Crane Hahn: Your record of distinguished service to the University has been generous, productive, and noteworthy. Only four Trustees in the history of the University of Illinois have served longer than you. Indeed only five Trustees have served four consecutive terms. Longevity alone, however, does not fully characterize your contribution. You have served as our resident architectural engineer, lending a critical sense of style and practicality. You have encouraged energy conservation and fought for the preservation of the environment. When a dam was proposed and threatened to flood a part of Allerton Park, you applied your professional skill to search for alternative solutions to water supply and flood control. Always mindful of students' problems, you served on the Board's Student Welfare and Activities Committee for all but two of your twenty-four years as Trustee, acting as Chairman of that body for eight years. A special interest has been your commitment to increase minority enrollments at the University in science and engineering. As an engineer and businessman, you have been always alert to beneficial relations between the University and business and industry. You have helped strengthen private support, including your current role on the Board of the University of Illinois Foundation. T h e loyalty, dedication, and deep concern for the University which you have demonstrated during your long tenure and the high ethical and personal standards of service you have set have been an inspiration to all. T h e members of the Board of Trustees are joined by the President of the University, the faculty, and the administration as we extend the highest tribute to you and extend best wishes to you and Nancy. We are forever in your debt. ANNOUNCEMENTS FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD President Wolff called attention to the schedule of meetings for the next few months: January 11, 1991, Urbana-Champaign (Annual Meeting); February 14, Chicago.
